This paper confirms that the VI Biennial International Colloquium on Verbal Communication will be held on June 12-16, 1978 at the Hernstein Institute for Industrial Management at Hernstein Castle, Berndorf, Austria. The American program planners, John Deethardt, Ingeborg Chaly, and Michael McGuire will attempt to improve communication across the language barrier by pairing an American participant with a German or Austrian scholar. The pair will exchange papers and be prepared to act as interpreters for each other. An attempt is also being made to hold a debate in the German language between two American debaters from Baylor University, John D. Anderson and Patrick J. O'Sheehan, and two German students who have yet to be named. The colloquium is being co-sponsored by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Sprechkunde und Sprecherziebung.
